Greenbrae, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greenbrae, California is a small, though well-traveled area of Marin County, California. Located adjacent to U.S. Highway 101 at the opening of Ross Valley, this address encompasses parts of the City of Larkspur, as well as some unincorporated county land.

Predominantly composed of either hillside or waterfront terrain, its homes and offices are known for their views of San Francisco Bay, Corte Madera Creek, and Mount Tamalpais. Greenbrae's neighborhoods are bordered by Downtown Larkspur to the south, Larkspur Landing to the east, the unincorporated area of Kentfield to the west, and the City of San Rafael to the north. Straddling Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, its most frequented points of interest include Marin General Hospital, Bon Air Shopping Center, and the Marin Rowing Association Boathouse.

Greenbrae was home to U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer for over thirty years. Writer Jack Finney died in Greenbrae shortly after completing his last novel.
